Environment

We at AIRDEX believe we have the most environmental

friendly pallet in the world. Our focus in the development,

marketing and logistical deployment of our product is to

insure we maximize the environmental benefits of using

our pallet.
Here’s how YOU benefit:

1. 100% Recycle-ability is possible and is under development.
2. Realize enormous fuel savings in Air Cargo.
3. Will not sustain bug migration or infestation between countries.
4. Replaces wood pallets, which claim nearly 50% of old growth

forestry harvests annually.
5. Creates more efficiency and reduces losses in global logistics.

WOOD AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Is using wood good or bad for the environment?
Well the answer is that it can be both...at the moment.
OK, environmental issues are complicated so I am afraid you're going to have to concentrate while I try to explain this.

We all use wood products in our daily lives...and so it is very important that everyone understands this: there is good wood and there is bad wood.

Let's start with bad wood. Thankfully most people these days are aware that forests are being destroyed in some areas of the world. Some of this is because of logging for timber and some of it is because land is being cleared for other uses. This is a bad thing...for all sorts of reasons. As well as being the "lungs of the planet" forests provide homes to many animals and plants...and people too. Deforestation contributes to climate change and can also lead to landslides and floods. We hear a lot about the rain forests in South America, Africa and Asia, but forests are threatened in other areas as well, including Europe. Bad wood is wood that comes from:

Forests that are logged faster than they can re grow
Old growth forests, which contain important and rare habitats and which cannot recover from logging
Forests that provide homes to endangered plants and animals
Logging that is linked to crime and poor treatment of native people
Logging that causes pollution or damage to the land

Buying bad wood is like buying a panda fur coat...and you would not do that would you?

Now let's look at good wood. Wood is one of the few truly renewable materials we have. If we are careful about how we manage forests we can grow new wood to replace the wood we use. So long as forests are managed carefully they can provide wood forever. Indeed, thanks to responsible forestry for wood, the UK has more forests now than it had 100 years ago...and the forests are still growing.

Also, as trees grow they take carbon dioxide out of the air helping to combat climate change. When that wood is used to make products like furniture and houses the carbon is stored away and doesn't get back into the atmosphere until the wood product decays or is burnt...and that might be decades or even centuries. What's more is that we can make things out of wood that we would otherwise have to make from materials that cause environmental problems when they are made - like metals, concrete and plastics.

Forests can be factories for producing wood...and also provide lots of other good things too like homes for wildlife and inspiriing places to go and exercise in.
